J. Lynn Rowan started writing stories as a small child, usually starring her favorite cartoon characters. Most of her work through middle and high school was filled with typical teenage angst and melodrama, and usually mirrored the books she loved to read. But eventually she found her own author’s voice and decided to seriously pursue a writing career.

Historical fiction remains J. Lynn’s “first love”, but she has enjoyed the journey to becoming an author of romance and chick lit. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, the Central New York Romance Writers, and the Historical Novel Society. She is also a teacher who tries to instill a love of learning, reading, and writing in her students.

When she’s not writing, J. Lynn enjoys travel

Sometimes I'll skip ahead in the story, basically bypassing the section that's tripping me up. But I've found the best way to break out of the writer's block rut is to step away from the project that's giving me trouble. I might work on something else, or I'll focus on something not related to writing at all. Sometimes just taking a day to recharge and relax is enough to get the juices flowing again.(less)

Plus when people cut you off in traffic, you can write them into a story and then exact revenge.(less)
